Melting Point of Calcium (Ca) [& Color, Sources, Discovery ... 2022

One of the most important (and useful) physical properties is the melting point. All atoms will 'melt' at some point, even Calcium. Ok but what is the melting point of an atom of Ca?

In the case of Calcium the melting point is 839°C. Now let's look at other properties and facts about Calcium...

Calcium Overview

Calcium Melting Point

839°C

Discovery

Discovered By: Sir Humphrey Davy
Year: 1808
Location: England

State at 20 °C

Solid

Uses

Used by many forms of life to make shells and bones. Virtually no use for the pure metal, however two of its compounds are, lime (CaO) and gypsum (CaSO4), are in great demand by a number of industries.

Sources

Obtained from minerals like chalk, limestone & marble. Pure metal is produced by replacing the calcium in lime (calcium carbonate, CaCO3) with aluminium in hot, low pressure retorts.

Description

Fairly hard, silvery-white metal. Fifth most abundant element in the earth's crust (41,500 ppm). Occurs only in compounds.

Atomic Symbol

Ca

Name Origin

Latin: calx, calcis (lime).

Atomic Mass

40,078

Colored Periodic Table

Need an editable periodic table to edit? Maybe add your school logo, work team or anything else to maker your paper look cool?

Along with basic atom / element information (like Calcium melting point and all the other atomic data), it also comes with color coded info about: State (Gas, Liquid or Solid at room temperature), Groups/series details and much more...

How about an incentive to share this post? (You will help other colleagues find this blog)

Citation

When you need to include a fact or piece of information in an assignment or essay you should also include where and how you found that piece of information.

That gives credibility to your paper and it is sometimes required in higher education.

To make your life (and citation) easier just copy & paste the information below into your assignment or essay:

Luz, Gelson. "Melting Point of Calcium (Ca) [& Color, Sources, Discovery ..." Materials. Gelsonluz.com. dd mmmm. yyyy. <URL>

Now replace dd, mmmm and yyyy with the day, month, and year you browsed this page. Also replace URL for the actual url of this page (The < and > stay, ok?). This citation format is based on MLA.
